Excellence in Infrastructure
This award will be presented to the organisation with the most resilient approach to its IT infrastructure (encompassing servers/storage/networks/the cloud, and so on). The judges will take into account the planning for continuity as part of a larger strategy and the overall design of the infrastructure from both the resilience and efficiency perspectives. Entries, made in the form of a 2,000 word statement, should demonstrate how the approach at achieving the balance between resilience and efficiency has been successful over the last judging year. The winning entry will exhibit innovation and scalability, and may include datacenter solutions/virtualisation programmes, for instance.
The Excellence in Infrastructure award is sponsored by The Organisation for Resilience Professionals
The Emergency Planning Society (EPS) is the UK’s leading professional body for all those involved in any form of resilience, emergency planning, crisis and disaster management and all related disciplines. Members come from central and local government, the emergency services, the health services, commerce, industries, utilities, transport industry and voluntary organisations; what they have in common is that in a time of civil emergency, they are in the front line.
The Society, its branches and its various groups organise conferences, workshops, working parties, studies and seminars to examine emergency planning practice and experience, and to develop advice on good practice. Information and reports are disseminated throughout the emergency planning community.
This year sees an innovative and creative approach to what was previously the EPS annual conference, Condition Critical: A Symposium for Resilience Professional (5-6 July at the SECC, Glasgow). A fresh, exciting programme provides delegates with a myriad choice and topics aligned to national risks, dynamic and topical and at the forefront of our profession highlighting the most important issues, including critical national infrastructure national security and emerging issues.
